revleXionZ: Pivik Elementary '89-'90, Ian's Return

12:47:00 PMConstrux Nunchux

Hi everyone, we're back! This week we feature the first of a somewhat limited edition of craziness. The below images are ripped directly from the pages of you Pivik Elementary Yearbook from the 1989-1990 season. The major difference is that one night 1997 or so, an angsty young Paul took the entire collected stack of an impressionable young Ian's yearbooks and proceeded to vandalize them with pictures ranging from infantile silliness to vague inside jokes to the downright inappropriate. He would then pass the completed book back to Ian who would titter excitedly. These really are still as funny today as they were when created, all in one sitting. Who knows what muse from the skies struck Paul, but this would be their last recorded creative collaboration (with Paul as the writer and Ian the star) until the drunken Red Death paper plate. In some instances, people were transformed through artistic magic into Ian and other times, most times, Ian was simply added to situations, elevating the the experience of scholastic doldrums in the ecstacy of religious conundrums.--cXnX mGmX

Some of the scans might be a little unclear, so beneath each one, we'll recap the quotes:

Frame 1a: Ian is on top of the bus shouting "I'm here people."

Frame 1b: "As Ian trys to push over the bus singlehandedly."

Ian: Am I the only one who felt at the time as well as now that the idea of hugging students was unsettling?

Frame 2a: "...except when Ian gets violent."Ian is unwisely cast as the library clerk, promptly poking one child in the eye as the other, presumably a transfer from Catholic school exclaims dully, "Oh my God" at the blood dribbling from the first child's mouth.

Frame 7c: "Alright kids in the hole." The hole is in the middle of the page...

Frame 8a: Ian: "This bites."

Frame 8b: "I am the Great Cornholio, I need..."

Frame 8c: A Young Michael Stenger: "What smells?"

Ian: For two teenagers who thought Beavis and Butthead were funny enough to deserve homage, this is surprisingly funny, just the right balance of vulgar crudity and silly nonsequitir. More interestingly, is that I was probably thining "This bites" when I did eventually participate in the G.A.T.E. program.
